The new Land Rover Defender is discovered while finalizing its set-up.

The British firm wanted to celebrate the World Land Rover Day (or Land Rover World Day) giving information about the next generation of the Land Rover Defender that completes its developmentafter completing more than two million kilometers of tests .

The images that accompany the information are spectacular. And not only for the places for which these tests have been developed, but also for the efforts to which these test units are subjected .

Of course, just lets glimpse of its final image because the vehicles are properly camouflaged with special vinyl . From the images it is barely possible to understand that it will have a very angular profile, something that it would share with its predecessor , although an image close to that already enjoyed by the Range Rover Velar is expected , although without the fall of the roof in the final part.

Extreme hardness

The vehicles have had to overcome the difficulties of circulating at 40º below zero in the Arctic and more than 50º in the desert , both in Moab, USA, and in Dubai.

In addition, they have also had to overcome obstacles more than 3,000 meters high in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado (United States) and on all types of surfaces, where the total traction and driving programs have been the main protagonists.

But they have not only worried about their performance outside the asphalt. He has also been seen rolling on the Nürburgring and on all types of roads in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Now a new phase of development begins, which will be carried out by the Tusk Trust to those who will help in the conservation work of the Borana reserve in Kenya , with more than 14,000 hectares and where animals of all kinds can be found.

As it happens, the manufacturer has been collaborating with this company for 15 years, a relationship that will now serve to test the latest evolution of the Land Rover Defender prototypes.

Style in the purest British style

The Land Rover Defender has been designed and developed in Gaydon , in the United Kingdom, although the model will be manufactured in the plant of the Jaguar Land Rover group in Nitra(Slovakia).

After the tests carried out, the company only shows their satisfaction with the results obtained. Thus, Nick Rogers, executive director of product development of Land Rover commented: “We have carried out an extensive program of tests and simulations with the new Land Rover Defender, more than two million kilometers along all types of terrains and extreme climates. , everything to verify that it is our most capable vehicle in all history “.

To this he adds: “Now we have an incredible opportunity to test it in the conservation tasks of the Borana reserve. This will allow our engineers to verify their capabilities and verify their response in the final phase of our development program . “
